Many famous magicians perform the same act for many years without a single change. When I perform close-up I have a lot of routines (combination of three tricks), I also know tricks to do in each moment... But I am currently preparing a stand-up act (not stage, but actually standing up with the audience that come and sit down to watch your act, not like when you go around performing). So I've thought of one act where the start and end never vary. For the tricks in the middle I have a few options that I can choose from each day.

So, do you think it's better to have many completely different acts, or do one single act repeatedly (this has worked for most famous magicians, but I like to do new things all the time)?
